+
+
+### Version 1.6
+
 Version 1.6 includes some changes in comparison to v1.5. Next to the obvious switch of the pipeline into a Snakemake workflow which became necessary due to the ongoin issues with `conda activate`, the new models for v1.6 are extended by more specialized annotations for splicing variants, as well as a few minor changes in some other annotations (most prominent: fixed gerp for GRCh38) and changes in consequence categories which make this scripts incompatible with CADD v1.4 and v1.5. If you are still using those version, please use [version 1.5 of this repository](https://github.com/kircherlab/CADD-scripts/archive/CADD1.5.zip).
